🗑
responsible to visualizing colors, central vision, and vision in bright light   cones  
🗑
responsible for vision in dim light and peripheral vision   rods  
🗑
transmits impulses from the retina to the brain   optic nerve  
🗑
known as the blind spot of the eye because it contains no rods or cones   optic disc  
🗑

🗑
better clarity of close objects, nearsightedness   myopia  
🗑
inadequate vision at night   nyctalopia(night blindness)
